I have a Cisco switch acting as a NTP server for my network and have no problems with any other device or Nexenta getting time synchronisation from it. My issue it that I either don't understand the NTP model being used or I am missing some configuration. I have also decided to also try FreeNAS and have this running with the following configuration.Ģ950 III server with RAID 1 mirror two 32Gb SSD's on Dell 6i for FreeNAS in PCie x8 port and six 1Tb drives in ZFS RAIDz2 on a Dell 6ir controller in MPT mode. Nexenta was fairly easy to setup and I have had the box running for about three weeks now. After looking at what was available I tested Nexenta both with CIFS and ISCSI.
Up to this point my file server was simply a virtualised machine backed up with Syncback to two remote Synology boxes. Recently I decided that I wanted to go the NAS route and move all my files over to ZFS and run my ESXi virtual machines on the NAS via ISCSI. I have been using standard RAID 5 on my Dell 2950 III 16Gb RAM server for years without problem.
